In my campaign I've found that using social goals has helped. We have encouraged people to share the project to help us gain more likes on FB and Twitter and released rewards based on these. i.e 700 likes on our FB page etc.

Hi!
My tips are easy. But the key is to realize them properly. So they are:
- Reach out to your personal network. Don't forget about your family. Before you start your campaign, reach out to your friends.
- Make an engaging video. Tell a good story. Video gets watched and people know if they are going to support the project or not in the first minute or so. And there are more opportunities that people will believe you.
- Make sure your rewards are easy to understand.
- Create a Helpful Media Page. Use the social media sources and press releases. One trend we have seen is that press releases will drive some of the best traffic to your campaign.
- Communicate 24/7.
Stay inspired and active!

#1. Have a solid plan.
The "field of dreams" approach doesn't work for crowdfunding, according to Indiegogo co-founder Danae Ringelmann. "You can't launch a campaign, go on autopilot and expect money to come rolling in," she says
#2. Solicit prelaunch support. It's a rookie mistake to wait until a crowdfunding campaign goes live before reaching out to prospective backers. "To reach the funding target, the first 30 percent of funds needs to be committed before the campaign goes live," Swart says.
#3. Make it personal.
"People fund people, not just ideas," Ringelmann says. Successful campaigns feature videos that introduce entrepreneurs and capture their passion, as well as offer cool perks that allow backers to engage with the product.
#4. Respond to feedback.
Engaged backers offer more than just cash--they are "a critical resource for the entrepreneur, not just for the funds they are donating to the project but for the ideas they are sharing," according to Dan Marom, co-author of The Crowdfunding Revolution.
I hope this will help you!
